You can do this very easier than this.

1) Right click on the required point of the google map
2) select “What’s here?” from the pop up menu.
3) Focus the mouse pointer to that point again

You can see both Latitude and Longitude as a tooltip!!!

Also you can see the coordinates on the title bar of the browser!!!

Thanks again for pointing out this feature.
Found the Google maps api page!

Thanks! Is it possible for a bash or python script to query Google maps and get the returned values? That would be very helpful for our work, and save a lot of time.

Wow, I did not expect this to work. I had no idea you could pass javascript through the address/location field that way and have it “interact” with the website. I plan on using this to add geotagging to some content on my personal site.

If you think that going out, spending time and money, and getting a GPS is easier than typing a line of code into your web browser address, than… actually I’m at a loss for words on this one. Works perfectly and it’s more accurate, cheap and faster than buying a GPS. :-)

Great one.. If I want to automate it. (For example, given a search word, I need lat long). Any Idea guys??
